About King Of The Castle

About this game

In this medieval party game, lead your kingdom to a Golden Age... or complete disaster! Join your friends to take on quests and navigate a hilarious world of politics, treachery, and even all-out rebellion as your decisions see your empire flourish or come crashing to your feet.

King of the Castle is a multiplayer party game of shifting power dynamics and intrigue for players of all ages. Games can be joined using a computer or mobile device.

3 to 24 players can join as your 'loyal' Nobles and play directly through their web browser.

Plot regicide (and worse) with your friends across over 800 Events and 20,000 unique choices, each storyline featuring them as central characters in this Game of Phones.

  • Make your choices carefully in your role as Monarch. All your decisions are subject to the votes of backstabbing Nobles and can have far-reaching consequences.
  • Balance the competing demands of the different regions of your Kingdom – each with its own desires, difficulties, and ongoing plots.
  • Bribe, persuade or intimidate your way through difficult votes that threaten not to go your way, or try to alter the law itself to give yourself extra power.
  • Forge the unique history of your realm. As the years pass, your Kingdom will change according to your decisions and different regions will rise to power.
  • Customize your Kingdom. The Monarch and Nobles can choose their own name, appearance, pronouns, and shields.
  • Nobles getting a bit too uppity? Execute any who stand in your way but look out for heirs who might seek revenge...
  • Foil the plots of treacherous Nobles as they pursue their schemes to depose you.
  • Tax those that get on your nerves and watch the gold (and salt) pile up!
  • Watch your back – if Defiance gets too high, your Nobles can revolt in a bloody civil war that might tear your Kingdom apart!
  • Personalize your Monarch or Noble with a dizzying array of clothes and customizations.
  • Unique customized characters will stand out in larger games and will be picked for starring roles in the story!

King of the Castle is fully Twitch-integrated! Streamers can play as the Monarch and - with a simple “!join” command in chat - their Council can be joined by up to 3000 Nobles, using chat commands to influence the story of the Kingdom.

Fantastic streamer or party game. Definitely worth it for the price even if you only end up playing it once or twice!

A fun time with friends - become a conniving ruler, or a just leader - regardless of who 'wins', it's a wonderfully told story that supports a fun time with your friends, family, and... clergy?
